  2. 'Killie made Celtic force it'

    Kilmarnock 2-1 Celtic

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    Killie committed to the ball and forced Celtic into 50/50 balls at best.

    They then went and won it back again and again.

  3. The victory is also Killie's first in the league over Celtic since September 2018, ending a 13-game winless run.

    That win was under Steve Clarke. Killie fans will certainly be seeing similarities with this team.

  4. Kilmarnock have won a league game after trailing at half-time for the first time since 27th August 2022 against Motherwell.

  5. Not even this pouring Ayrshire rain will wipe the smile off of Derek McInnes' face.

    He's on the pitch giving every one of his players a bear hug.

    No wonder. What a performance.

  6. FULL-TIME

    Kilmarnock 2-1 Celtic

    We have a title race.

    Celtic's unbeaten start is brought to an end by a fantastic Kilmarnock.

    A phenomenal second-half display by the home side.

  7. Kilmarnock 2-1 Celtic

    Danny Armstrong smiles as he wins a free-kick in his own half.

    Two Killie changes now as Armstrong and Matty Kennedy make way for Frazer Murray and ex-Celtic winger Gary Mackay-Steven.

  8. Kilmarnock 2-1 Celtic

    Kilmarnock win ANOTHER throw in the Celtic half.

    Danny Armstrong, you have been superb.

  9. Kilmarnock 2-1 Celtic

    We're on 98.

    All the added time has been played.

  10. Kilmarnock 2-1 Celtic

    We've hit 97.

    Celtic's unbeaten start is in serious jeopardy here as Killie win a throw deep in the away half.

  11. Kilmarnock 2-1 Celtic

    James Forrest gets the ball chased off him by at least three Killie men.

    The work rate from this team...

  12. Kilmarnock 2-1 Celtic

    Nat Phillips has had a 'mare this second half.

    He heads the ball out of play for a Killie throw, killing momentum for the away side.

  13. Kilmarnock 2-1 Celtic

    Three of the eight added minutes have been played, but we'll probably play more than that now as Rory McKenzie replaces Kyle Vassell.

  14. ouch!

    Ouch!

    Kilmarnock 2-1 Celtic

    Ooft, that's a sore one.

    Stuart Findlay and Yang fully commit to a ball and the latter takes one to the face from the Killie defender.

    Looks entirely accidental.

  15. 'How many minutes?!'

  16. Kilmarnock 2-1 Celtic

    Derek McInnes has no idea where those eight minutes have come from.

    Same, tbh.

  17. Kilmarnock 2-1 Celtic

    We've played 90.

    EIGHT minutes of stoppage time.

  18. GREAT SAVE!

    Kilmarnock 2-1 Celtic

    Kyogo comes close to an instant leveller but Will Dennis is out to deny the striker at the near post.

  19. Can Celtic come back?

    Pat Bonner
    Former Celtic goalkeeper on BBC Sportsound

    It's never over until it's over, but you just can't see a Celtic comeback happening given the second-half performance.

    You could see it coming!
